Ohran Viper

I’m not completely sure what the hype is all about. Yes the card does exactly what it says it does. Its just that trading with a creature in an agro matchup or drawing a few cards against control doesn’t seam to be as good as everyone’s saying.

The other side of the problem is that green always has lots of really good 3 drops. So lets go have a look at all the legal standard creatures with casting cost of 2G:

Azusa, Lost but Seeking

Civic Wayfinder

Descendant of Masumaro

Elder Pine of Jukai

Ghost-Lit Nourisher

Gristleback

Isao, Enlightened Bushi

Ivy Dancer

Kami of the Hunt

Ley Druid

Loaming Shaman

Matsu-Tribe Decoy

Orochi Eggwatcher

Reki, the History of Kamigawa

Rootwalla

Shidako, Broodmistress

Silhana Starfletcher

Trophy Hunter

Viridian Shaman

Wood Elves

Yavimaya Enchantress

Ok so none of them are playable, what about that cost 1GG:

Budoka Pupil

Carven Caryatid

Dosan the Falling Leaf

Elvish Champion

Gnarled Mass

Golgari Brownscale

Ichiga, Who Topples Oaks

Kashi-Tribe Elite

Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant

Scion of the Wild

Shizuko, Caller of Autumn

Trained Armodon

Verduran Enchantress

Ok so Carven Caryatid is playable, maybe we have something good at GGG:
